Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taurean Ferguson.

Taurean, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
TAF Sports & Performance started or came about after I finished playing college football at Vanderbilt University graduating with a bachelors degree in Human and Organizational Development, My whole life I was always into competing or playing some type of sport since I was six years old. After graduating, I decided to build the TAF Sports Brand but first, it all started with me growing my knowledge base of getting my certifications with sports training and also USA Track and Field Certifications as well. While getting my certifications, I was working at a 24/7 gym name Body Talk fitness where I was able to further my knowledge with the business side of the health industry. This opportunity allowed to get a better understanding of what I wanted TAF Sports Brand to be and what value I could give not only to the athletes but also to the people. I understood at an early age how crucial health, sports, and mentorship played a key role in reaching your maximum potential in life and today TAF Sports is able to provide all three factors named to everyone’s life.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road to building TAF Sports has not been an easy process and still isn’t to this day. The struggles that have come along the way with building TAF Sports is more so time management. We all know that each day 24 hrs is all that we have and it’s our job to make the most of our time with the 24 hrs that we get, so being able to fit everything in such as marketing, networking, and training into the day is an obstacle each day. But that is what comes with being a business owner and its something that will always be there. So is it an obstacle yes but its a good obstacle because it can produce the end goal at the end of the day.

Please tell us about TAF Sports & Performance.
TAF Sports & Performance strives to produce the best quality athletic and fitness experience to help every athlete reach their full athletic potential throughout key elements: Mobility/Recovery, Speed and Agility, Strenght and Conditioning, Nutrition. TAF Sports specializes in sports training but also offers quality HIIT training as well. The one thing that I’m proud about with the TAF Sports Brand is how fast it has grown in a year and seeing where it will be in a year from now. The one thing that sets TAF Sports apart from everyone else is that we are one big family and that community outreach is a big part of the brand in which people will appreciate in the future, by the way, are able to communicate with the youth.

Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
My favorite childhood memory growing up was playing football with the North Henry Tigers in 2008 where we competed and won the Frank Ski bowl. To be honest, I learned a lot playing with the Tigers which helped me become a better athlete leading up to high school and taking the knowledge that I learned into my everyday life to this day. With being an athlete at that age and learning how to be consistent and discipline wouldn’t have traded it for anything else. I was blessed to be coach by my Dad and Head Coach Dan Curl.
